Ingénieur en Genie Civile - Bamako avec de Fréquents Déplacements à l?Intérieur du Pays
Le Mali émerge graduellement de la crise la plus profonde de son histoire. La libération des régions occupées par les groupes armés et l’organisation des élections présidentielles et législatives ont mis fin à deux années de crise politico institutionnelle et sécuritaire. Cette période d’instabilité (2012 début 2013) s’est caractérisée par des déplacements massifs de plus de 585 000 de réfugiés et déplacés internes la rupture de l’ordre constitutionnel se traduisant par la suspension des institutions démocratiques, la fragilisation des administrations publiques et des collectivités territoriales.
Aussi, des infrastructures socioéconomiques collectives et des bâtiments administratifs déjà insuffisants, ont largement été endommagés par les djihadistes et alliés. Les archives ont en grande partie été détruites et les équipements pillés. La majorité des fonctionnaires ont abandonné leurs postes craignant pour leur vie. Les institutions juridictionnelles dans les zones de conflit ont été particulièrement affectées avec le repli des fonctionnaires, qui étaient exposés à une situation d’insécurité en raison de la nature de leurs fonctions.
A la suite de ces pillages et destructions commis par les groupes armés, la plus part des infrastructures publiques dans les trois régions du Nord ainsi que la partie nord de Mopti sont dans un état de délabrement sévère qui rend difficile le redéploiement de l’administration, la reprise des fonctions de l’Etat ainsi que la fourniture des services aux populations.
L’évaluation des besoins de reconstruction dans les différents secteurs avait été estimée à 101, 22 milliards F CFA (source : gouvernement du Mali) sur les quels, l’Etat malien a consenti des efforts pour la réalisation de travaux de réhabilitation de certaines infrastructures.
A travers l’Axe 1 du PAG, le gouvernement entend mettre en place des institutions fortes et crédibles, avec comme objectifs entre autres, la lutte contre la corruption et l’impunité, la refondation des administrations publiques, et la réhabilitation de l’institution judiciaire.
Ces efforts des autorités maliennes seront soutenus par l’Équipe pays des Nations Unies (UNCT) en collaboration avec d’autres partenaires, pour la restauration de l’État de droit à travers le rétablissement de la police, de la justice et des institutions pénitentiaires dans les zones libérées. Cet appui devrait prendre en compte les besoins suivants:
(i) la mobilisation de matériel et d’assistance financière pour la réhabilitation d’infrastructures-clé;(ii) la fourniture d’équipement (bureaux, matériel informatique et consommables);et (iii) le redéploiement de la police et de la justice sur base de la feuille de route du secteur de la justice.View the original article here

4 kinds of questions you should ask in an interviewAn interview is a big opportunity to make an impression on employers. One of the best ways to do that is to turn the tables and start asking the questions. Not only does this demonstrate to interviewers that you have a keen interest in the job, but it also shows that you are inquisitive and thoughtful. Here are four kinds of questions you should be asking at your next interview – because sometimes the best defense is a good offense.
Understanding office interaction
Whether you are applying for a position in one department of a huge company or stepping into the one-room office of a start-up, it is important that you understand how the company hierarchy and culture work. Questions about the office should focus on how different departments interact, who reports to whom and how employees engage their peers and bosses on a daily basis.
In terms of daily interactions, your questions should be nuanced – you want to know how your department is designed to work with others, as well as what the actual working relationship is. You should also get an understanding of how you are to report to your bosses, and what kind of rapport you can expect. Are bosses relatively congenial or is everything done strictly by e-mail? This kind of differentiation may also help you to get a better understanding of the office politics and the kind of environment into which you might be stepping. Not to overlook are peer interactions – is there a friendly team atmosphere or is daily engagement discouraged?
Related to the question of interaction is the pace of the office. Is there heavy workflow with lots of people moving around? Are people restrained to cubicles? Furthermore, are you encouraged to make suggestions for the company? Encouraged conversation, interaction, innovation and company-wide involvement in business goals are usually hallmarks of a good, engaging employer. You should work to find out how much your opinion is valued in the company. If the answer is not very much, then you may want to look elsewhere for employment.
Reading dreams, nightmares
Prepared candidates will have done research on the history and objectives of the company with which they are interviewing. The one-on-one conversation is a great time to show off that knowledge, while filling in the gaps that the company’s website leaves in question.
Business Insider provided a few great questions in this regard. First, what is one thing that is key to the company’s success that the general public may not know about? This question is incisive in that it immediately parses out company image from company reality, or at least how your interviewer sees it. Perhaps there is a failure in branding that accounts for the discrepancy, or maybe the way the company operates is a well-guarded secret. Either way, the question could get to the heart of a company’s operations.
Secondly, which competitor is the company most worried about? This question gives you a better lay of industry land, and could also reveal the company’s own self-perception. A great follow-up question is to ask how the position to which you are applying can give the company an edge over its competitor.
Finally, ask what the company’s overall business plan is in the coming months. This question will give better insight into the strategies employed by the company, suggests to employers that you can think in terms of the big picture and demonstrates that you are interested in the long view.
Turning the tables
You are sitting in a room with influential people of a company who want to hear what you have to say. Now is the perfect opportunity to find out what they think about the job and the company. You should not be afraid to ask them what they enjoy about their jobs and the business overall.
More importantly, though, you should not hesitate to ask what aspect of the job keeps them up at night, Business Insider suggested. The answer will give insight into the stress of the job. If the interviewer will be your boss, it also gives you a sense of what their focuses and concerns are.
You may also ask interviewers what kind of leaders they hope to be and where they see themselves in five years. If they once worked the same job you would be working, ask them what they liked about the position and how it compares to their current job.
Getting to brass tacks
At the end of the day, what you really want to know are the specifics of the job. Basic questions worth asking are the hours and stress involved, as well as what kind of rewards system is in place for employees.
These are all technical questions worth knowing the answer to. However, the more impressive questions are those that aim for a better understanding of your role in the company and what you can do to perform the best possible job. Determine what your responsibilities are. Also, ask how the job has evolved and how the employers see the job changing over the coming year. Finally, ask how previous holders of the job have been successful or even exceeded expectations.
Gauging the audience
It will likely be impossible to ask all of these questions, unless an interviewer has an entirely free afternoon. Prioritize your questions, starting with the three most important ones. Keep them broad so that you can get longer answers and better explorations. If they seem eager to hear more from you, then ask away.

Documents à inclure dans la soumission de la proposition
Les Consultant(e)s intéressé(e)s doivent présenter un dossier de candidature comprenant les éléments suivants:
Une Proposition Technique: (Enveloppe/Fichier N°1)
Note explicative sur la compréhension des Termes de Référence et les raisons de la candidature;Brève présentation de l’approche méthodologique (assortie d’un chronogramme) et de l’organisation de la mission envisagée;CV incluant : L’expérience acquise dans des projets similaires et au moins 3 références;P11 dûment rempli et signé (téléchargeable à l’adresse : http://www.tg.undp.org/content/dam/togo/docs/P11_Personal_history_form.doc.Une Proposition Financière: Contrats forfaitaires (enveloppe/Fichier N°2)
La proposition financière sera soumise sur la base de l’approche forfaitaire.
La proposition financière prévoit un montant forfaitaire et précise les modalités de paiement sur base de produits/delivrables précis et mesurables (qualitatifs et quantitatifs) même si les paiements seront effectués par tranches ou en une seule fois à l'achèvement total du contrat. Elle doit être libellée en USD.
Afin de faciliter la comparaison des offres financières par le service demandeur, il est recommandé de demander aux candidats au Contrat Individuel de fournir une ventilation de ce montant forfaitaire. Les consultants doivent indiquer/détailler dans leurs propositions financières les coûts des billets d’avions aller-retour (if applicable), les honoraires, les frais de séjour et le nombre de jours de travail prévus. Le PNUD n'accepte pas les coûts de voyage qui excèdent ceux du billet en classe économique. Si un consultant désire voyager en classe supérieure, il devra le faire sur ses ressources propres.
En cas de voyages non prévus dans les TDR, le paiement des coûts de voyage (y compris les billets d’avion, l’hébergement, et les dépenses des terminaux) doit être convenu entre le Bureau du PNUD et le consultant individuel avant le voyage et devra être remboursé.
Par ailleurs, les candidats voudront bien noter que les paiements ne pourront être effectués que sur la base des produits livrés, c'est à dire sur présentation du résultat des services spécifiés dans les TdR et après acceptation du responsable désigné par le PNUD.
Les candidats pourront être invités ou contactés par téléphone à la fin du processus d’évaluation technique. Aucune note ne sera donnée à cet entretien, mais il sera utilisé pour valider les points donnés au cours de l’évaluation technique et permettra de mesurer/évaluer la bonne connaissance du candidat de l’objet des TDR.
Evaluation
Analyse cumulative (Note Pondérée)
Le contrat sera attribué au/à la consultant(e) dont l'offre aura été évaluée et ayant reçu la note la plus élevée sur l’ensemble préétabli des critères pondérés technique et financier spécifiques à cette invitation.
Pondération: la pondération retenue, pour l’évaluation des offres, est la suivante:
Seuls les candidats ayant obtenu un minimum des 49 points seront pris en considération pour l'évaluation financière. Après vérification de l'adéquation entre les propositions financière et technique, chaque offre financière recevra une note financière (Nf) calculée par comparaison avec la proposition financière la moins disante (Fm) de la manière suivante : Nf = 30 x Fm / F (F étant le montant de la proposition financière évaluée).
Pour finir, les propositions seront classées en fonction de leurs notes technique (Nt) et financière (Nf) combinées, avec application des pondérations (70% pour la proposition technique ; 30% pour la proposition financière) pour aboutir à une note globale (NG = Nt+Nf).
L’Offre sera adjugée à l’égard de la soumission ayant obtenu la note totale pondérée la plus élevée tout en tenant compte des principes généraux du PNUD (coût et efficacité). Le PNUD ne s’engage en aucun cas à choisir forcément le Consultant offrant le plus bas prix.
